well actually they looks pretty dry to me, you can't really see/feel liquid stuff in it. Besides they come with there own wrapper. They don't cost that much more compaired to high quality plasters and they are good ! they streches, are waterproof and they stay sticked on you, without leaving residue <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />, and disinfect. They cost more than the cheaper one's but you will get a lot in return for it, thats mine opinion.... besides we ( or atleast me ) spend a lot on survival equipment anyway, a $ or 2 extra can't harm, right ?
